Welcome to the Disney Blog Hop! If this is your first blog, welcome! If you’re a returning Disney blog hopper, I’m happy you’re back. This week’s theme is Halloween decorations!

Recently I posted this video about how you can bring of bit of Disneyland Halloween magic into your home.

Dave was so convincing in this video that I printed out one of the templates and attempted to create a Disneyland-inspired pumpkin. This is the craftiest thing I’ve done in about five years. Here’s what I came up with:

Now on to the blog hop:

• This blog hop is for ALL Disney-related blogs, whether you blog about the parks, animation, a specific character, Disney corporate, etc. If you are a blogger who covers Disney, feel free to enter, but be sure to enter a URL that directly sends readers to your Disney-taged posts.

• Enter your blog below.

• Check out the other blogs and follow them through Google Friend Connect, on Facebook, etc. Just let ’em know you checked them out and like what they are doing. We all like to know we have new readers. I see you do it on other blogs, so make sure you let me know too!

• Welcome new readers to your blog! Each week we do something a little bit different. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO PARTICIPATE IN THE WEEKLY THEME/POST TO PARTICIPATE. Next week’s theme is “celebrations” and will be cohosted by Focused on the Magic.

• Also optional, please consider posting the Disney Blog Hop button on your blog or web site so that we can spread the word. It would also be great if you wouldn’t mind tweeting about the blog hop so that more Disney blogs with participate. The more bloggers who find out about the hop, the more new readers you’ll have linking over to read all about you.

Just thinking about these treats makes my mouth water. They are total indulgences and I adore them. The Coconut Patties are pretty much the greatest “cookie” ever. Maybe they are more of a candy…maybe they are just…awesome. Basically they are like a Mounds candy bar…only shaped like Mickey…and amazing. And then there’s the Confetti Popcorn. Oh, Confetti Popcorn, how I love the way I love you and the way I fear all of the cavities you might give me. Also known as World of Color popcorn, this delicious treat is loved my kids and parents alike. Both of these tasty treats can be yours at the Candy Palace and World of Disney, among other locations throughout the resort. If you can’t live without them and can’t make it to the Disneyland Resort, contact Disney Merchandise Guest Services and see if they will send them to you! (800) 362-4533

The confectionery masterminds at the Disneyland Resort have out done themselves…again with two new adorable (and delicious) candy apples just for the Halloween season.

Want to see some of the other amazing treats at the Disneyland Resort this time of year? Check out the video Disney shot of me interviewing the resort’s executive pastry chef. In it, he describes some of the most popular…and yummy…treats of the Halloween season.

The Halloween season wouldn’t be as sweet without the delicious treats sold at the parks this time of year. I could write all about them, but why not hear about them from the man who created them, Disneyland Resort executive pastry chef, Jean-Marc Viallet?

Want to make your own Mickey Mouse Beignets? Here is the recipe straight from the Disneyland Resort kitchen!

Mickey Mouse Beignets Recipe

Cafe Orleans, Disneyland

Makes 10 large Mickey Mouse-shaped fritters or 2 dozen small fritters

1/2 teaspoon dry yeast

1/4 cup warm water (105º)

1/4 cup sugar

2 tablespoons vegetable shortening

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup heavy cream

1 egg

4 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 cup boiling water

Vegetable oil for frying

Powdered sugar

1. Sprinkle yeast over warm water in a small bowl, stirring to dissolve. Let stand for 5 minutes.

2. Combine sugar, shortening, salt, heavy cream, egg, flour and boiling water in a large bowl; stir in yeast mixture. With the dough hook attachment of an electric mixer on medium speed, mix the dough just until combined and smooth. Let dough rest for 30 minutes.

3. Roll to 1/4-inch thickness and cut individual beignets with a Mickey Mouse-shaped cutter or cut into 2 1/2 to 3-inch squares. Cover with a towel and let dough rise until doubled in size in a warm, draft-free area, about 1 to 1 1/2 hours.

4. Heat 3 inches of vegetable oil to 350°F in a deep, heavy pot over medium-high heat. Fry beignets until golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes, turning as soon as they brown on one side. Remove with tongs and place on paper towels to drain. Dust warm beignets with powdered sugar and serve immediately.
